Rain again when we entered the woods,

Rain, too, in Kaú, in the jungle,

In the forest-haunts of the gods,

Rain at each crossing of road and path:—

Here stand I, with fire in my eye:

Our days of communion are gone;

You’ve bidden adieu to Ko’olau:

Hail now to my mate of the gloomy rain—

When wet and cold and chilled to the bone,

Our garment of warmth the blazing hearth;
